Death, Justice and Bioethics

Most people have had to deal with the death of a loved one at some point in their lives.

Depending on how well a person copes, different emotions are present when dealing with death.

Sadness is a common emotion felt by loved ones after a death. Depression may set in as a

person tries to adjust to life without the person they cared about. Another feeling that mourning

people frequently feel is anger. With efforts to put aside the anger, which is frequently lost, this

is a common grief response that should be supported. As one adjusts to the loss, they

experience fear, loneliness, and confusion. People frequently become upset after they realize

that trying to disregard their loss would not make it go away. Depending on the circumstances

accompanying the death, various adjectives are used to characterize how we view death. These

include sadness, anger, fear, surprise, hope, contentment, and peace.

As mentioned earlier, anger is one of the most common reactions to the death of loved ones,

but why do people react that way when someone they love dies? It is because death cannot

only happen naturally, but in some circumstances it is a result of inhumane actions of others. If

someone’s loved one passed away as a result of a crime, an accident, or negligence, you may

be able to file a wrongful death case. The Family of the deceased person may receive both a

monetary settlement and a sense of closure if they are successful in their legal claim or it is

successfully settled. Remember that the courts might not view the case the way they do; as a

result, getting justice for their loved one can be a time-consuming and demanding process.

Especially in a society that is being plagued by this social injustice for a very long time. Justice

can only be achieved if we are willing to fight for it, even if it is hard to achieve, even if it is

something that would make your life difficult. Everyone has the right to have access to the same

opportunities and tools they deserve to succeed. Everyone will have a chance to live the life

they desire, though this does not ensure that society will be perfect and that everyone will
always be content. Systemic impediments, prejudice, and discrimination—things they can't

control—don't prevent them from advancing. Since there isn't a single set of guidelines for what

social justice accomplishment looks like in practice, concepts like equity and participation are

particularly essential. True progress is possible as long as a country upholds its beliefs and

principles and prioritizes social justice.

The study of ethical, societal, and legal concerns that emerge in biomedicine and biomedical

research is known as bioethics. Medical ethics, which centers on ethical issues in healthcare,

research ethics, which focuses on ethical issues in the conduct of research, environmental

ethics, which specializes on ethical issues relating to the interaction between human activity and

the environment, and public health ethics, which addresses ethical issues in public health, are

all examples of bioethics. Research on ethical, social, and legal concerns that arise in

biomedicine and biomedical research is done by bioethicists. They also teach courses and

deliver seminars, contribute to the creation of institutional policies, sit on ethics committees, and

offer consulting and advice on ethical matters. Academic institutions, hospitals, medical

facilities, governmental organizations, commercial businesses, and foundations employ

bioethicists. Medical professionals can better understand and discuss medical practice with the

help of bioethics. Medical professionals are capable of adhering to ethical rules when practicing,

especially when dealing with challenges, since the ethical parts of bioethics are stressed.

Because moral dilemmas are related to problems with medical care, using bioethics can

significantly improve the country's healthcare system.
